The big question is whether or not your local fire brigade charges for their visits…

Well I paid $600 for it and decided to list it on Fakebook as is. Guy was going to buy it for $1200 but I decided to see if I could get it running and sell it for more. It had a bad engine computer so I bought a used one on eBay; then sent it and the original to a guy to clone it. The cloned ECU showed up yesterday so I threw it in and it starts. It’s missing really bad and running rich I assume. Checked the codes with SDS and it had codes for all the 02 sensors and something with the MAF. I was about done messing with it where suddenly it backfired and caught fire. Had I had a fire extinguisher near but it wound not have got out of control as bad but unfortunately the car was in a spot where I could not get a hose to it. Within seconds the entire engine compartment was ablaze. Of course I called the FD and 10-15 minutes later they show up. By then car is filly engulfed. It took off so fast I’m really not sure even a fire extinguisher would have put it out. Anyway, I guess I should have sold it previously. That car was a turd from the get go. <image0.jpeg> <image1.jpeg> <image2.jpeg> Sent from my iPhone _______________________________________________ Daveslist mailing list davesl...@okiebenz.com<mailto:davesl...@okiebenz.com> http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/daveslist_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
